How to Survive as a Cannon-Fodder Villain in Quick Transmigration

Author Lin Mo transmigrates into Lin Qi, a sacrificial character in his own novel who dies right at the beginning. Bound against his will to a ruthless System, he is trapped in a deadly loop after each failed attempt to assassinate the emperor. As he struggles to survive, he encounters the villain Hua Yu, who was supposed to appear much later in the story, and is rescued by him. But Lin Qi’s identity is shrouded in mystery, and he is soon kidnapped by an unknown force. Taken from a dark cell to a lavish cage, he fights to survive under their unfamiliar scrutiny and bizarrely preferential treatment.

Every step is on the edge of a blade. One wrong move means certain death.

Once the one holding the pen, now a pawn in the game, he walks a perilous path he himself wrote, but can no longer control.

Content warning: All characters are paired with the protagonist. Some relationships are monogamous, others are not. P.S. I may enjoy all pairings.
